Real Madrid star provides injury update after RB Leipzig game
Real Madrid secured an important win over the Bundesliga giants last night.
Real Madrid started the knockout stage of the Champions League on a high note as they beat RB Leipzig 1-0 in the first leg of a round-of-16 clash. This victory was recorded in an away fixture.
Brahim Diaz was the matchwinner for Los Blancos. Meanwhile, Andriy Lunin was also the hero who made nine saves on his way to a well-earned clean sheet.
Brahim talked to the media after the match (via Diario AS), and he described his winning goal, “I get the ball, I make the first feint, I see that they are afraid to go in for the tackle, they retreat a lot… And that’s where I put it in the top corner. I saw Vini and wanted to give it to him, I hesitated, but I ended up shooting. It was a nice goal.”
⚪️ Brahim Díaz: “I feel good. I think my injury is not serious”.
“I celebrated like that for Jude, he wanted to play this game… so this goal goes for him”.
“I’m so happy at Real Madrid”, told @SkySport. pic.twitter.com/7YRIFFHlNC

Carlo Ancelotti is hopeful that Brahim Diaz will be back and his injury is not too serious. He came in place for Jude Bellingham who missed out this fixture due to injury.
